Description
I was struck by the textures and colors of the rust and old wood.

I was wondering what these things were, so I asked a trusted and brilliant friend. Here's the info. he gave me:

"They look to be weights for pressure relief valves. The pressure at which the valve opens depends on the moment arm of the lever comprised of the arm and the weight on its end and the diameter of the orifice of the valve. There is also a multiplier relevant to the numbers of teeth on the two toothed wheels, one on the arm and the other on the valve itself."

So, now we know!

Thanks, Darrel!
